During zPCI scan, BAR configuration data retrieved via CLP Query was misinterpreted due to an endianness mismatch between QEMU and the guest kernel. The guest kernel's clp_store_query_pci_fn() expects BAR values in little-endian format and converts them with le32_to_cpu(). However, QEMU was incorrectly sending them in big-endian format, not following the architecture specification. This caused incorrect bit-swapping in the kernel, leading zpci_setup_bus_resources() to perform registration checks against invalid flags, making the process ineffective.
